ISD-ANAPoLIs, IND, February 2j.-
There was no renewal of yesterday 3
turbulent scenes this morning The
Republicans demand for the right of
Colonel Robertson to preside over the
Senate will not be accompanied by any
display OF force. Mr.. Robertson APP
pearcd at the Senate doors, but was re-
fused admission by orders of the Demo-
cratic majority, and he then retired.
The Republican senators pursue their
intention of taking no part in the pro-
ceedings, simply ignoring the majority
and President-pr0-tcm. Smith.
A resolution was offered by Senator
Baily asking the Supreme Court to act
as arbitrators on the claims of Messrs
Robertson and Smith, but the Republic
cans say they have nothing to submit
to arbitration. The Supreme Court is
not Likely to take any notice of the
matter. The attorneys of Smith this
morning filed their petition for a re-
hearing On an appeal on the injunction
case.
Up TO noon there had been no mani
festation by the Democratic majority in
the Senate of their intention to unseat
Republican senators so as TO secure a
two-thirds majority of the body, neces-
sary to enable them to do business
without the presence or votes OF the
minority. A resolution was passed,
however, TO investigate the conduct of
Senator Johnson, who struck Senator
Mcdonald in the face yesterday during
the mctc6 at the door, with a view to his
expulsion.

WASHINGTON, February 25.-The di-
plomatic end consular bill reported to-
doy by the Senate Committee on APP
piiations has been changed by the COM
mittee so as to be practically similar to
the law for the present year
The general deficiency appropriation
bill reported to the House to-day makes
a total appropriation of S3,573, 5Oi,
wEilcthe estimatesagg egatedisS7, 55S,-
81. An appropriation OF S630,OOO is
made for the Department Of Justice to
meet the expenses of the United States
courts, mainly jurors, witnesses, clerks,
and marshals' fees
A question has been sprung upon the
public here to-day whether the Presi-
dent will have the right to appoint the
interstate commerce commission after
Congress adiourns if he should fail to
send the nominations to the Senate be-
fore adjournment. The question is
upon the technicality whether there
will then be vacancies, inasmuch as
these offices have never been filled, but
are entirely new creations. There is q
radical difference of opinion among
parliamentarians and constitutional
lawyers with regard to the point in
question, and the opinion is expressed
by some OF the most experienced sena-
tors that the President will avoid all
complications which might grow out of
the matter by making his nominations
in time for action by the Senate before
the 18th of March. 1t can't be learned
that this opinion is based upon any
utterance of the President.

The country should now be prepared
to 10 iHstice to the President for the
courage and fidelity to duty he showed
in interposing the veto against such u
project Now that the veto has been
sustained by the House, and in far
more emphatic way by the country. at
large, we are apt TO underestimate the
courage it required. II the votes of
the two houses are to be taken
as evidence of public sentiment,
as they may ordinarily be, the bill was
popular with both parties. The Presi-
dent would have risked nothing politi-
cally by signing a measure that came to
him with such credentials. He did risk
much by refusing TO sign it. Ii he had
not had more courage than the MAORI
ties Of both houses the bill would now
be "A law. Mr.. Cleveland, however,
as everybody knows, is not given
to troubling himself with the eff
feet on his own popularity of any
course of action that seems to him
right, and he has attained a wider
popularity by disregsrding it than any
demagogue by counting it. The failure
of Congress to pass the bill over his
veto proves that an exhibition of
courage such as could have been ex-
pected from no other President OF re-
cent years may be more profitable
"politics than can be devised by the
politicians.

General Boulanger has recently given
prizes to the best trainers of carrier
pigeons in the Department of the Seine.
Pigeon training in France has become
a branch of the military service, and
plenty of well-trained birds are to be
found in the costly and beautiful little
establishments that have been built for
them. They are furnished with modern
improvements and Injuries that vulgar
and ignorant pigeons could never APP
preciate Among the pigeons now in
the possession of the Government are
several veterans OF the siege of Paris,
and one among them is genuine old
hero. In 1870 this bird was taken up
in the Paris balloon called the Niepce,
and was captured by the Prussians.
Prince Frederick Charles sent him as a
present to his mother, the Princess
Charles of Prussia, who put him among
her own collection of birds, where he
was treated with all possible kindness.
But he was patriot. The bitter bread
of exile did not agree with him. He
flew away and reached his home in a
pigeon-house in the Boulevard Clichy.
The owner Of this establishment hand
ed him over to the military authrities,
and ne is now once more in the service
of his native country, and doubtless
hopes to win additional glory in the
future.
